CHINA – Beijing's Olympic organizers have given MTV Networks China landing
rights into the Beijing Olympic Village at the August Games in the Chinese
capital.
MTV China's 24-hour channel will go on air on 24 June 2008,
broadcasting to thousands of viewers over the private Olympic CATV network to
all of the Olympic-related competition venues and hotels, as well as the press
center and media village.
Focus of the programming will be two skeins – "MTV
Burr," which offer an entertainment guide to Beijing in 20 episodes, and "100
MTV Ways To Rock The Olympic Games," which is a nationwide contest for viewers
to send in photos and videos which best signify "the rocking Olympic spirit."
Selected works will be shown on MTV China and MTV China's website
